Balancing chemical equations and calculating yield.
When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3) is heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, donuts, and bread. The balanced equation for this process is: 2NaHCO3 ® Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2. Calculate the mass of NaHCO3 required to produce 20.5 g of CO2.
Please see the attached file.
